At Sinai Construction, we know that water might seem harmless — but when it’s pooling around your home’s foundation, it becomes one of the most destructive forces to your property. That’s why we specialize in custom yard drainage solutions that are designed to protect homes from long-term structural damage.

Right now, our team is hard at work on a project that highlights just how critical proper drainage can be.


The Problem: Water Threatening the Foundation

During a recent inspection, we found clear signs of water saturation near the home’s perimeter — a warning sign that the foundation was at risk. Poor drainage in the yard had caused water to accumulate dangerously close to the base of the house, increasing the risk of cracking, shifting, or long-term weakening of the foundation.


Our Approach: A Strategic Solution Based on Inspection

Every yard and foundation is different. That’s why the initial inspection is key — it allows us to fully understand the landscape, soil conditions, slope, and water flow. In this case, the inspection helped our team design the most effective drainage solution, tailored specifically to the site.


This may include:

  • French drains

  • Surface grading

  • Sump pump systems

  • Gutter extensions

  • Or a combination of these, depending on the home's unique needs

We’re now implementing this plan to redirect water away from the foundation, ensuring long-term protection and peace of mind for the homeowner.


Why Yard Drainage Matters

Too often, drainage is an afterthought — until the damage is already done. But investing in professional yard drainage isn’t just about convenience; it’s about:

  • Preventing foundation cracking or settling

  • Reducing the risk of mold and mildew

  • Protecting landscaping and outdoor structures

  • Preserving your home’s value
